Cat / Siamese - Answered 1328 days ago
I get my cat vaccinated every year, but this year she suddenly became ill about 10 days after the vaccine. I took her to the vet and she had a very high fever. The vet told us the vaccine might've had some effect but the true cause wasn't clear. The fever subsided after about a week of antibiotics, but I'm afraid of the same thing or maybe even worse side effects happening next year. She had a serious roundworm infection when she was young, and since then she's been unable to digest certain proteins (She will have diarhhea after eating food such as chicken, salmon, bonito). It's commonly said that you should get your pet vaccinated every year, but is that really necessary?? I've heard of some clinics who only vaccinate once in three years. By the way, I have three cats in total, and they're always kept indoors.

Hi Loretta , hope you are doing good and Bianca is also fine.. So, regarding your concern, See there is alwas a little chance of adverse reactions to vaccines. You should never be worried about them. If you go to your vet regularly, try to follow his/her instructions sincerely and everything will be fine. Regarding round worm infestation, I would like to tell you something. When she got the infection she was young and I think she has some liver problems due to which she can't digest proteins effectively. So, I would recommend you to give her some liver tonics and try to keep those foods that you have mentioned away from her. After 2-3 months you can feed them again. Now, regarding vaccination, if you have given her all the vaccines i.e all core and noncore vaccines in her early childhood then you can go for booster annually or in every three years as well. You've mentioned that your cats are indoor habituated so, there is nothing much to worry about. Hope this will help you. Thank you All the best.
